Four devotees have been killed and three others injured when a group of armed militants opened fire on a mosque in Afghanistan's northern Faryab province on Tuesday.
"Militants affiliated with the Taliban group sprayed bullets on a mosque in Faryab's provincial capital Maimana city on Monday evening, killing four worshipers and wounding three others," provincial police spokesman Abdul Karim Yurash told Xinhua.
However, the spokesman added the attackers managed to flee away with a car after the attack but were intercepted by the police nearby.
Two attackers including Qari Naqib, a member of Taliban spy agency in the restive province, were killed.
The Taliban outfit has yet to make comment on the incident.
